Christmas is the time for giving and while Santa Claus prepares to drop off the presents for kids around the globe, for a number of celebrities there is a go-gift gift this year.
Rather than socks, perfume or some dazzling new jewellery, Celebs are instead opting to give the gift of beauty this festive season - with one "tweakment" proving to be more popular than the rest.
Many celebrities openly admit to going under the knife to enhance their appearance. But for the founder of London skin clinic Kichi, one treatment is in huge demand this December.
Natasha Clancy says her clients are queuing up for her 'Baby Face' offering - said to provide the most 'incredible youthful glow'. While she couldn't disclose her client list, she admitted names such as Jennifer Aniston, Vanessa Williams, and Coleen Rooney are fans of the type of treatment.

The most highly requested treatment this year so far is the Kichi BabyFace, one of my most sought-after services."
Explaining the procedure, she said it creates micro-channels in the skin to facilitate up to 90 per cent absorption of a custom-blended serum, which will contain either retinol, tranexamic acid, vitamin C or resveratrol, depending on your skin’s needs."
It's said the treatment is so popular due to there being no "down time" after the treatment, with many experiencing results within seven days to provide an "incredible" glow.
Sharon Hilditch MBE FCGI, founder of Crystal Clear Skincare, a non-surgical approach to skin health, agreed she had noticed the trend of requesting beauty treatments. She added: "This festive season, many of my celebrity clients are embracing the trend of requesting beauty treatments as gifts, a perfect way to start 2025 feeling refreshed and radiant.
"The SKINSTORM treatment, a favourite among stars like Coleen Rooney, continues to be one of the most in-demand offerings, especially for Christmas gift requests."
The treatment includes oxygen skin saturation, resurfacing, cryotherapy, drone technology vitamin infusion, cryotherapy oxygen ice micro-needling and high-pressure injection which creates an instantly firmer, plumper, hydrated and energised skin.
The ideas come as there has also been a rise in unique treatment types this year. Among them is the Kim Kardashian-inspired "vampire facial" which has also seen a rise in popularity. Dr. Alan Durkin, a double board-certified plastic surgeon and Founder and Medical Director of MedSpa Network, previously explained to the Mirror what the procedure entails and what the public should be wary of.
He said: "A 'vampire facial' is when platelet rich plasma is harvested from the patient, and added into aesthetician-based facial technique. It can be added to any facial technique, including laser facials, IPL, and injectable therapy. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is also used as a healing adjunct in aesthetic surgery, and orthopaedic surgery."
He continued: "The benefits of a vampire facial is in its ability to help elevate skin tone and texture. By utilising a patient’s own healing factors to rejuvenate their skin, aestheticians have the opportunity to markedly improve skin quality with this modality."
However, he also added: "The risks of the procedure have to do with blood exposure. As you are drawing a patient’s blood, and then processing it into plasma, that is an inherently medical procedure. Many spas do not have a strong medical component, especially Day Spas. As such, the only risk to be seen is relative to venipuncture, and exposure of patients to blood products that are not their own."
